Last March UNI's Greek affiliate OESIK (the Hellenic federation of casino employees' unions) informed UNI of the dismissal of workers at the Casino Rio and asked for support.

 

The management of the Casino Rio, claiming there were financial and technical difficulties, made 24 workers redundant. The union strongly opposed this decision and started militant protests culminating in an extended hunger strike by the President of the union, Dimitris Karageorgopoulos (also a Vice-president of UNI Europa Gaming).

 

Following the strikes, the union went to court and after a few months of hearings the workers were reinstated.



UNI Gaming congratulates the union with this victory and thanks all affiliates who supported their Greek colleagues.
